Business Wire
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating
potential claims against the board of directors of Epicor Software
Corporation (“Epicor” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EPIC) concerning
possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law
related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired and
taken private by Apax Partners (“Apax”) in a transaction valued at
approximately $976 million. Click here to learn how to join the

Under the proposed agreement, Apax will commence a tender offer
to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Epicor for $12.50
per share in cash, followed by a merger to acquire all remaining
outstanding Epicor shares at the same price paid in the tender
offer.
The investigation concerns whether Epicor’s board of directors
failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best price
possible for Epicor’s shareholders before entering into the
agreement with Apax. Indeed, shareholders representing
approximately 19% of Epicor’s outstanding shares have entered into
support agreements with Apax in connection with the transaction. In
addition, Elliott Associates, which beneficially owns approximately
13.5% of Epicor’s outstanding shares, has also indicated that it
supports the transaction. Moreover, according to Yahoo! Finance, at
least one analyst has set a target price of $14.00 per share for
Epicor stock.
If you own the common stock of Epicor and purchased your shares

matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your
